INTRODUCTION
Building information modelling BIM is an important digital transformation which helps in
managing the engineering, architecture and construction industries to be systematically founded.
This creates a systematic approach and process which is being used in the construction sites and
business development for creating innovation and developing different types of business assets.
It helps out to construct new modern buildings with optimum designs with the help of BIM. It
generally create a plan with which a proper whole project is being managed in the construction
industry and it also provides the pre-construction through the Shovel hits in the ground(Xiao, and
Bhola, 2021). Construction industry have an important role in United Kingdom in order to
enhance the economy and also to gain the productivity and success.
MAIN BODY
Section A – Answer all questions
Question 1 – Sustainability - Analyse how BIM can support the delivery of construction
projects in a more sustainable manner
BIM is an important modelling system which helps out to change and implement new designs in
the buildings and their traditional architecture. This helps out in enhancing the growth of the
construction industry and also to impliedly increase sustainable demands with the optimum
facilities and requirement in the industrial sectors without affecting the environment. Building
information modelling compliance of different types of 3-D models that creates the structures of
the building with the technological advancement and the extra ordinary innards and features.
Some of the major advantages that can be availed through all such construction companies are
like the projects which is being sustained through BIM (Kurniawan, and et. al., 2021). It helps in
managing the collaboration of different insight building information and also through the
communication with the team members in order to manage the better coordination and planning
regarding the sharing the details of the project with the stakeholders about the designs and the
project that is being implemented for the future growth. BIM also focus on visualising their
projects through all the pre-construction methods that can help the customers to know about the
space which will be created in future and also to make certain alteration and changes according
to their needs and requirements before the construction is being initiated. It is being seen that
